- For several years Adobe has been promoting Flash as a great technology for mobile devices (and it is).
- For several years Apple have been making amazing mobile devices (and they are).
… and, for some bizarre reason, the two have been bickering all along, and never quite making friends.
The latest move in the ongoing showdown is this slightly aggressive message iPhone and iPod Touch users get if they visit a website requiring flash:
Apple restricts use of technologies required by product like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch
This is Adobe’s second move in the past few months to push the blame back onto Apple. They also announced that the next version of Flash Professional will allow developers to build iPhone apps from their Flash projects.
This is great news, as it will open up App development to the vast army of skilled Flash developers and coders out there. And the announcement was made via this hilarious “myth buster” movie
But – the bickering is hardly over, and iPhones will still not be “running Flash”. There remains no support for websites containing Flash. If you want that, you had better stick with your:
- WindowsMobile
- Android
- Blackberry
- Palm Pre
etc etc etc devices!
